Trinity College Students Call Attention to Histories of Inequality

Trinity College students enrolled in Professor Jack Dougherty’s “Cities, Suburbs & Schools” seminar collaborated with the ConnecticutHistory.org team during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years. The students researched the history of housing and education inequalities in the Hartford area. Then, they prepared entries for ConnecticutHistory.org. This involved a series of draft revisions as the students worked to meet our shared criteria for sound historical methodology, clarity of expression, and use of multi-media documentation to engage online audiences. Here’s what some of the 2012-13 authors had to say about how this collaboration enhanced their learning experience.
